Make a retro 70s inspired floral bag with this crochet pattern! You can use your new bag as a regular purse, or as a water bottle holder! The back side of the bag is a flat panel. Use pastels to completely change the feel, or do all 1 color. Do 4 flower squares instead of just 2 in the front, make a larger bag out of multiple squares, or make a small, single square bag. The choice is yours!

Pattern level: Advanced beginner. This pattern uses optional foundation rows to start, and simple stitches to achieve the petals. You must be comfortable with changing colors and sewing pieces together.

Sizes included: one size, approx 8 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide, though it does stretch a bit.

Materials needed:

• worsted (weight 4) yarn
• 4mm hook
• yarn needle
